High rise New Orleans - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Belgian company Besix realised the high rise project New Orleans in Rotterdam. The building was designed by the well known Portuguese architect Alvaro Siza Vieira with a height of 160 m with 45 floors. The high-rise building is used for apartments and the podium for various leisure activities.http://www.wilhelminapier.nl/

Putzmeister is on the job site with the MX-boom MX 28-4 with tubular column system RS 850 and the stationary pump BSA 2109 H-D. Already in November the installation of the boom and tubular column was completed. The stationary pump, operated with diesel, can be used for high requirements of pumping pressure and output. Therefore a pump pressure of 152 bar or an output of 95 m3/h is definitely theoretically possible.

Especially for this project Putzmeister developped a new ZX scissor pipe. This pipe enables switching from one main delivery line i.e. to a stand-by line even with the ZX pipe system.
